IPAT was founded in 1958 in Dallas, Texas by a small group of Porcelain Art Teachers. Since that time, the organization has been instrumental in stimulating international interest and appreciation for porcelain art through the Porcelain Artist magazine that contains 80 pages of full color photos.

The IPAT Museum is in Grapevine, Texas. It contains many pieces painted by artists from all over the world.

The art of China Painting is a very old art with its beginning in the Ming Dynasty of China (1369 - 1644) and has continued to the present time.

Anyone can join IPAT and become a part of our worldwide community of artists.
